The document describes a quality control panel for a molecular diagnostic assay. There is no mention of AI or ML being used in the control panel itself or in the interpretation of the results from the control panel. The performance studies focus on the accuracy and reproducibility of the control panel in generating expected positive and negative results.
No
This device is a quality control panel used to monitor the performance of in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures, not to treat or diagnose actual medical conditions in patients.
No
Explanation: This device is described as a "quality control panel" intended to monitor the performance of nucleic acid testing procedures, not to diagnose medical conditions in patients. It contains synthetic RNA transcripts for testing purposes, rather than being used directly on patient samples for diagnostic results.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "quality control panel consisting of 2 controls" which are physical solutions containing synthetic RNA transcripts. This is a physical reagent, not software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for use as an external positive and negative assayed quality control to monitor the performance of in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures". This directly aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease.
- Device Description: The description details the composition of the controls, which are used in conjunction with the FilmArray RP EZ assay, an in vitro diagnostic test.
- Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies conducted to evaluate the device's ability to function as a quality control for the in vitro diagnostic assay.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (DEN150058) is a strong indicator that this device is being submitted for regulatory review as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in the regulatory process for new IVDs.
The device is a quality control for an IVD, and quality controls used in conjunction with IVDs are themselves considered IVDs.

All Test Results:
Three lots of FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265, FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control and FilmArray RP EZ Negative Control, were manufactured and tested using the FilmArray RP EZ assay on the FilmArray instrument 2.0 EZ Configuration system to confirm performance. The lots were manufactured incorporating variables including multiple key component lots, different operator and different days over four months.
An internal study was performed by testing the 3 lots at MMQCI (Saco, Maine) over multiple days with 4 reagent lots by one operator. An external study was performed to assess the ability of the intended user to test the FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 in a CLIA-waived setting. The external performance study tested the 3 lots of FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 at 2 CLIA-waived sites and 1 external site under simulated CLIA-waived conditions over a period of 10 days using 3 FilmArray reagent lots, incorporating multiple operators.
External Site Testing:
Three lots of FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265, FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control and FilmArray RP EZ Negative Control, were manufactured by MMQCI. They were tested by the FilmArray RP EZ assay on the FilmArray instrument 2.0 EZ Configuration system at two CLIA-waived clinical settings and one simulated CLIA-waived test setting where users were screened to have training and educational backgrounds consistent with those in the CLIA-waived testing environment.
Testing consisted of three positive and three negative controls run per day, and spanned a period of 10 days (total of 60 control runs per site). Multiple operators participated in testing at each of the three locations. Three lots each of external control material and three lots of RP EZ pouches were tested across all sites.
A total of 182 external controls were tested (91 positive and 91 negative). Two tests were excluded from final data analysis due to Invalid results caused by internal pouch control failures. Data for the remaining 180 control tests are shown below.

Summary Performance Data
All Test Results
Three lots of FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265, FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control and FilmArray RP EZ Negative Control, were manufactured and tested using the FilmArray RP EZ assay on the FilmArray instrument 2.0 EZ Configuration system to confirm performance. The lots were manufactured incorporating variables including multiple key component lots, different operator and different days over four months.
An internal study was performed by testing the 3 lots at MMQCI (Saco, Maine) over multiple days with 4 reagent lots by one operator. An external study was performed to assess the ability of the intended user to test the FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 in a CLIA-waived setting. The external performance study tested the 3 lots of FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 at 2 CLIA-waived sites and 1 external site under simulated CLIA-waived conditions over a period of 10 days using 3 FilmArray reagent lots, incorporating multiple operators.
All FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control respiratory pathogen analytes were correctly detected in the internal and external study (Correct Positive Control Result). All but 2 FilmArray RP EZ Negative Controls gave Correct Negative Control Results of no respiratory pathogens detected. There were 3 Invalid results caused by internal control pouch failures and 2 false positive results. It is not possible to determine the cause of the 2 false positive results. However, since the results were from 2 different control lots and 2 different pouch lots at the same testing site, environmental contamination is possible, especially since testing occurred during flu season.

External Site Testing
Three lots of FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265, FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control and FilmArray RP EZ Negative Control, were manufactured by MMQCI. They were tested by the FilmArray RP EZ assay on the FilmArray instrument 2.0 EZ Configuration system at two CLIAwaived clinical settings and one simulated CLIA-waived test setting where users were screened to have training and educational backgrounds consistent with those in the CLIA-waived testing environment.
Testing consisted of three positive and three negative controls run per day, and spanned a period of 10 days (total of 60 control runs per site). Multiple operators participated in testing at each of the three locations. Three lots each of external control material and three lots of RP EZ pouches were tested across all sites.
A total of 182 external controls were tested (91 positive and 91 negative). Two tests were excluded from final data analysis due to Invalid results caused by internal pouch control failures. Data for the remaining 180 control tests are shown below.
